Cuvée du Sentier – 2017; Calais Winery; Hye Texas

The rich, full bodied Tannat may be one of those secret wines in your stash that you will have a difficult time not blabbing about to others. Sourced from Narra Vineyards of The Texas High Plains AVA, it is game on for that full mouth feel experience! Aromas of cherry and tobacco will initially greet you for this complex, bold wine. Do have patience and let it sit for an hour or so to breathe for full enjoyment. You will then be rewarded with some flavors of blackberry and raspberry with a hint of spice. The acids are medium for this fine jewel, and it is relatively smooth for a Tannat. “Another, please!” is what you will be saying all night as you enjoy glass by glass of this amazing red. Santé
